[world politics news]


The ruling Justice and Development Party has won 316 seats in Sunday's election, a comfortable majority in the 550-seat parliament. The main opposition CHP won 25.2% and the nationalist MHP opposition took 12%. Support for the pro-Kurdish HDP hovered just over the 10% threshold needed to enter parliament.
